Ron Sexsmith - The Idiot Boy lyrics

God so loved the idiot boy He gave him a pair of eyes to explore Gave him a pair of hands to destroy Any good thing that he found He said, "Put this kid in a candy store Let him run around till he drops" Just like a bull in a china shop Everything came crashing down God so loved the idiot boy That he filled the night with dreams Till dusty sunlight beams Danced upon the floor Gave him a solo in the choir Where songs of wild desire Were all his voice was for God so loved the idiot world He gave it his only son to kick around That was long ago in another town It could use a good laugh now God so loved the idiot world Gave him a solo in the choir Where songs of wild desire Were all his voice was for God so loved the idiot boy He gave him coffee grounds in a paper cup And a reason every day to keep getting up In a world that drags you down God so loved the idiot boy God so loved the idiot boy God so loved the idiot boy
